I love the Bead Dropper, and actually went out and bought a trash can specifically for mounting tyres after a few battles. One trick I haven't seen before is using a small strap looped around the handle of the can to hold the opposite end of the rim down while forcing the bead under the insert. I had actually contemplated cutting down the can maybe 30cm from the top for ease of portability and so that I could actually use the rest of it as a trash can - but I do like the working height of the full can.
